Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

I just can't understand where all this fear of gays in media comes from.

    In other words, I just can't comprehend how one can decide to act in homosexual ways just by copying others. If that's how you feel, that's how you feel ... I don't think anyone taught me to like tits and ass (also if you can't tell the difference between a male and female derier, we need to start a thread for you).
    I look at the real estate prices and think to myself... if it weren't for gays with high paying jobs who don't have to support anyone, we wouldn't be in this mess

      I just don't understand why those gays deserve 15 pages of discussion.

        You know what ... I never understood it either. What is the big deal really? But then again, I don't really understand how people can spend their entire lives trying to justify religious beliefs either ... but still, in this day and age, you start a religious thread and it will go on and on and on and on.

Let me rephrase... growing up I don't recall people "acting" gay even though they were.

          You watched Will and Grace? That might explain some things...
          So, let me get this straight (haha... straight!)... What you're saying is basically this? ' Too bad that gone are the days when we were able to shame the gays into the closet and preserve our delusion that an entire subsection of the population doesn't exist?'

          Oh yeah... the two characters on Will & Grace totally made up for (and then some) the other shows that completely lacked any gay characters. I'm sure if you added up all of the characters to appear on TV in the last decade and calculate the percentage that were homosexual, it grossly overestimates that demographic.

          Nevermind that the demographics aren't really accurate either because people like YOU make it so that people need to pretend to be someone else with regard to this incredibly fundamental aspect of their selves.

          And what the hell is "acting gay" anyway? "I'm going to go act gay now by inserting my erect genitalia in another man's anus"? Is that how it's done?

          Since you seem to believe that TV has these magical powers to change someone's sexuality then I'm sure you also subscribe to the belief that lack of average looking women on TV has made young girls think that they need to be supermodel thin to have value and to be beautiful. Right? Or is that where TV's power stops?

            Forget the TV ... I would worry about how many of us are going to turn gay by posting in threads with gay topics

              Oh please... if you don't think TV affects people then you obviously don't get out much.

              When you say "average" do you mean average by European standards or American standards?

                Oh Kanada strikes again!!!! Making leaps and jumps farther than faster than anyone could ever imagine!!! I love watching you in action man

                You just jumped from "turning straight into gay" to actually mean "affect in ANY possible way" in like less than a nano-second! This must a record.

                  I find it strange how the so called "scientific" minds are claiming TV has no influence on the human brain... it's not just strange, it's downright frightening

                    Don't pretend what you claimed that TV can have any influence on the human brain. That immensely vague and broad statement is vastly vastly different from the one you made, which was that the (over)representation of homosexuals on TV has caused an increase in prevalence of homosexuality.

                    The posts in question are within the last half dozen posts...


                    In case scrolling up is difficult, here's what I'm talking about:

                    It's not like it was so long ago in the thread that anyone reading this would have forgotten exactly what you claimed, so they won't notice you COMPLETELY change what you're saying. No, no... that doesn't fly. You don't debate or win an argument by CHANGING your argument in the middle. That, my friend, is called "cheating" and "weaseling" and I don't think you want to be doing either, do you?

                      I don't recall EVER seeing 3 girls in PUBLIC kissing until the Madonna fiaso. I'll jog your memory



                      Kissing might not be considered a "homosexual" act but it's still as queer as a 3 dollar bill. So if simply watching this act on prime time TV encourages behavior in adolescents then surely they experiment with other acts as long as they see that it's "cool" or "normal".

                      Huh?

                      Your claim is more people feel free to "come out"
                      My claim is more people feel free to "be gay"
